I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

[Albert Einstien]

Thanks for the heads up. There's one word that defines your work --
GENIUS.

First of all, thank you BP2008 for spending your own time making such a fantastic add-on to BI. I did notice that you enabled the sidebar collapse feature and can be used with mouse or hotkey ~, but was wondering if I could get sidebar closed by default when logging on. Is there a file I can manipulate or maybe change the url to something like http://192.168.1.200:81/ui2.htm?=~

About the collapsible side bar in UI2:

1. The size is remembered between sessions.
2. Add the URL parameter fullscreen=1 to start with it collapsed regardless of the previously-remembered size.
3. Double-click on the drag bar to reset it to the default size.

What is the purpose of livestream.htm ? I like the idea of it, and being able to roll back 30 seconds, but I can't go back to live time without refreshing the page. Is there a way to make a live stream version of a specific camera?

That page is a standalone equivalent of UI2/UI3's "Open HLS stream" function. It is a relatively CPU-efficient streaming method but comes with a pretty significant video delay. The page can take a URL parameter "cam=shortname" to specify which camera to stream.

As for being able to roll back but not forward, I can't really help with that. It is a feature of the player script I used, which I did not write myself, and I didn't even know it had that capability.

Thanks for the clarification.

UI2 version 0.19.1 is in the first post.

The only change since 0.19.0 is to bring the login page up-to-date with what UI3 has.

Hi Guys,

I'm getting a javascript error when loading the login page. Running the latest version of BlueIris and the latest version of UI2. Suggestions? Log in works, though I don't have credential caching anymore.

FYI, I'm using the latest version of Chrome. Looks like some kind of caching issue? Clearing the cache does not fix thing, but opening a new Incognito Window fixes it.

I see the problem. You turned on the context menu compatibility mode in UI3 and the login page didn't implement that correctly. It will be fixed in the next release.

UI2 version 0.19.2 is in the first post.

The only change is an updated login page fixing the "longpress is not a function" bug.

Just tried it, works great. Thanks for the fast fix!

Just another thank you if you're reading these.

I just finished all testing with Blue Iris and found your UI, you are wonderful individual for changing things for better!
I have one question though, why I don't have an audio sound option when I login as non admin user?
I selected audio option for that user in Blue Iris settings but when I log in there's no audio or option to turn it on.

It looks like you only have one camera configured, which means you are looking at a fake "All cameras" group that UI2 just invented on the spot. I just checked, apparently I neglected to copy the "Audio" flag correctly so UI2 doesn't know your camera has audio. There are some quirks like this when you are running just one camera.

You could try the UI3 beta. I think it has the same bug regarding audio, though. default.htm should be able to play the audio if you don't mind using internet explorer and an activex plugin for playback.

I just tried and the results are the same. I see now the volume bar but can't toggle on and off. I really like your new UI3 but no sound. My company has over 60 offices and I will be installing 1 camera per office.
Is there any work around to make it work on my side with your UI3?

@rickroll For UI3, you should try a H264 streaming mode like S0 and try audio again. Your screenshot indicates that you are in HD (JPEG mode). If you are not using Chrome, try with that browser.

Audio works on my side.

I was using Firefox, it works in Chrome. Thank you very much!

@rickroll If you are using Firefox version 57 or higher, you should set dom.streams.enabled and javascript.options.streams settings to true in Firefox about:config UI. That will allow Firefox to stream video in h264 and thus audio should work as well.

Indeed it works, thank you!
